Hi loopy loo
Best of luck with your weight loss journey! Those slimming world wedges are really nice - I might have those tomorrow Ive started back on slimming world this week and I really feel I am actually eating so much more food than when I am not on the diet. Its so nice to be eating healthily, but not feeling hungry.

Hi!

Yep its weird, I find it quite strange getting my head around the fact that eating more will get you losing weight, just goes against what you are led to believe about dieting and depriving yourself..I gues thats how SW works! And I dont know what I would do without SW wedges and chips, I put seasonings on them too which makes them extra tasty.

Day 2

Breakfast

HEB - 2 weetabix
HEA - 250ml semi milk
Free - Banana, Coffee

Lunch

Free - Tomato and Basil pasta and sauce, 2 mandarins

Dinner

1 syn - 2 quorn burgers
HEA - 3 laughing cow light triangles

Free - Rice with half a stock cube, beetroot

About 2 litres water today

Going to try up veg and fruit intake. Had a bit of a horrible moment when watching tv with kids in evening, they still working through easter eggs and I love chocolate! But had a wee chat to myself and decided I would rather keep syns spare in case the vodka starts calling, kids have been off school today and yep the vodka is calling so going to have a coupke tonight once they are tucked up. Worked out for the best in the end.

_______________________________________

thats my line drawn, whats very clear to me is that alcohol sabotages my good planning!!

Did really well with my meals everything went well until sat night, friends appeared round with wine. Went over syns with alcohol, felt terrible on sunday and while I tried to stick to plan I had a few indulgences! Steak pie and chocolate- aaarrggh. Yesterday was a bad day emotionally too, still so much goin on personally and I reach for the comfort of food. I havent gone totally mad though and had a binge, just eaten and drank a few more syns than i should have. I will have to plan better next week, maybe not drink so much. New day, new week, back on it and trying to snap out of the low moody stuff. first wi tomorrow. Not getting my hopes up I know Where things go wrong for me I just need to try and work on it

[Loopy-Loo]

Ok well much better day yesterday, had a wee wobble in the evening but I won lol

Breakfast
Heb - wholemeal bread
Hea - cheese slice
Free - beans

Lunch
2 syns - Creamy cheese mugshot

Dinner
All free - fried rice - egg, soy sauce frylight
Egg foo yung (homemade) with Heb chicken
Seasoned potato slices
Mullerlight

Lots of water

Wi today and I lost 2lbs, very pleased with that considering my wee blip at weekend. However not letting myself get complacent thinking I can get away with cheating, drinking too much alcohol is bad bad anyway can do without it and the hangover depression lol So iv started walking today again roughly, 50mins a time and il try as many days this week as I can, if I say il do it 3 I feel pressured and I won't do it, why I don't know. So goals are walk as much as poss, less alcohol. I do ok with the eating so just be trying to use syns more wisely. Have a meal out on Thursday to a buffet place, Indian Chinese and Mexican so iv a fairly good chance of coping with that. Hopefully the willpower will hold up!

Congratulations on ur weight loss x

 

[tech1960ps]

Your diet looks good, i like the sw chips as well. it really doesn't fell like a diet when you can have chip/fries.
Another choc-aholic, i'm the same. I cant just have a couple of pieces of a bar i need to eat the whole thing lol.
Good luck on sw. I'm starting to feel left out:sigh:, there seems to be more girls then guys on here or is sw more of a girls thing?
I like the tickers, where do you get them from ?

 

[Loopy-Loo]

Hey

Thans for the comments! Im not sure if sw is more a girls thing...i guess 'dieting' has been seen to be a female hobby! Kudos to the men, when I used to go to class there was a guy who came too. Without fail he lost every week, got to target and maintained. He was so motivated and had the best recipes. So there you go. Maybe thats why its mostly female's here we lose and we put back on lol (i know i do). Yep the thing about sw if keeping it interesting and not falling into to a rut with the same food over and over. On that note Im attempting KFC chicken sw style and sw doner kebab this weekend

Day 10
Breakfast

Free - Peaches and mullerlight
Coffee

Lunch

HEB - 6 crackerwheat
Hea - 4 laughing cows light
Free pickles and beetroot

Dinner

Really tasty just made it up as i went along - free - onion, passata, garlic, chilli, worcester sauce, italian herbs and spaghetti with a Heb chicken.

5.5 - syns small dairy milk bar.
total syns
35.5

weekend approaches aarrrrggghh, usually my downfall on the alcohol front. Going to visit a friend tonight but im driving, what I may do is buy one bottle of wine and a mixer and have that if i feel like a drink. Once its gone, its gone. No more! lol

Don't enjoy red days unless I am totally prepared and I wasn't at all today lol. No salad to go with lunch but I wasn't really that hungry anyway. Did another 50 min power walk, really enjoying it, ipod on and forget the world for a while. It's so good for me to switch off, don't know why I ever let it slip. Going to be having some wine tonight, half wine half lemonade zero. Hopefully last longer and I won't drink so much. Still need to work on upping the veg, its strange because usually I eat loads anyway. So happy Saturday!
